Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 20E

A chemist decomposes several samples of water into hydrogen and oxygen and measures the mass of the hydrogen and the oxygen obtained. The results are tabulated as follows.

Sample Number Grams of Hydrogen Grams of Oxygen
1 1.5 12
2 2 16
3 2.5 20

a. Summarize these observations in a short statement.

Next, the chemist decomposes several samples of carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen. The results are tabulated as follows:

Sample Number Grams of Hydrogen Grams of Oxygen
1 0.5 1.3
2 1.0 2.7
3 1.5 4.0

b. Summarize these observations in a short statement.

c. Formulate a law from the observations in (a) and (b).

d. Formulate a theory that might explain your law in (c).

You've just solved a problem and the answer is the mass of an electron, me=9.11×10−31kilogramsme=9.11×10−31kilograms. How would you enter this number into the answer box? Enter your answer in kilograms using three significant figures. Note that the units are provided for you to the right of the answer box. View Available Hint(s)
part 1 Which of the following is a best practice in weighing solid samples?   Use weighing paper, a watch glass, a beaker, or some other container to measure mass of your solid samples.   Do not return the mass settings to zero mark; let the next user tare it for you.   Place chemicals directly on the balance pan.   For different trials of an experiment, use multiple balances for your measurements

    You can analyze for a copper compound in water using an instrument called a spectrophotometer. [A spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument that measures the amount of light (of a given wavelength) that is absorbed by the solution] The amount of light absorbed at a given wavelength of light (A) depends directly on the mass of compound per liter of solution. To calibrate the spectrophotometer, you collect the following data: Plot the absorbance (A) against the mass of copper compound per liter (g/L), and find the slope (m) and intercept (b) (assuming that A is y and the amount in solution is x in the equation for a straight line, y = mx + b). What is the mass of copper compound in the solution in g/L and mg/mL when the absorbance is 0.635?
